Abstract

Abstract: Anemia among pregnant women remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 37.1%, and contributes to an increased risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Adequate iron intake through iron and folic acid (IFA) supplementation, accompanied by education on anemia prevention, balanced nutrition, and healthy lifestyle practices, is essential for maintaining maternal hemoglobin levels and promoting the health of both the mother and the fetus. Objective: This community service program aimed to improve pregnant women's knowledge of anemia in Kereng Bangkirai Village, Palangka Raya City. Methods: The community service program was conducted through problem identification, coordination with community partners, health education on anemia, maternal health examinations, distribution of the SETIA Pocketbook for Pregnant Women, and evaluation of participants' knowledge regarding anemia and iron and folic acid (IFA) supplementation. Results: A total of 30 pregnant women participated in the program. Health examination results showed that 36.7% of the participants were anemic. The mean knowledge score increased from 72.86 ± 14.35 on the pretest to 85.07 ± 10.23 on the posttest. A paired-samples t-test demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in participants' knowledge following the educational intervention and the use of the SETIA Pocketbook for Pregnant Women (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Education on anemia supported by the use of the SETIA Pocketbook for Pregnant Women was effective in improving pregnant women's knowledge of anemia and iron and folic acid (IFA) supplementation.
